Windows 7: Multimedia keys

Hi, I have a problem with Windows 7.
On the top of my notebook's keyboard there are some multimedia keys such as "Play, Stop ecc.." and I have a problem with Volume keys.
While I have to tap once on "Vol Up/Down"" to increase/decrease system volume of 10% in Vista, in Windows 7 every tap increases/decreases system volume of 2%.. it is very uncomfortable... Now.. does anyone know how to do in Seven the same thing I do in Vista?

Second, before we can help you we will need some information about your laptop. (make / model, Installed RAM, Processor etc.) as well as what flavor of windows 7 you are running (x86 or x64) and the build number.

Lee: I created on Vista Recovery Disks (Cd1 contains the OS, Cd2 contains drivers and utilities).
There is an utility (Launch manager) that allows me to modify only two buttons (Bluetooth and Acer Deluxe) but this works only with Vista..
But all multimedia keys are working fine..

Ok, I downloaded the package from the link I gave you, extracted the files, and found the .inf file that directs the installation.
Its located in WHQL_LH folder.

Use device manager by going to Start -> then type Device Manager in the search box and hit enter.
Find your Multimedia device, then right click and select Properties.
Click on Update Driver Software.
Click on Browse my Computer for Driver Software.
Click on Let Me Pick From a List of Device Drivers on my Computer.
Click on Have Disk . .

Then browse to the location where you unzipped the driver package. Your looking for the WHQL_LH folder.

Select the .inf file LManager and follow the onscreen instructions from there.

This should install the manufacturer drivers for your Quick Keys including the Volume control.

Let me know if this works for you. Any questions, feel free to PM me.

How do I set my multimedia keys to work on other media players?My laptop's multimedia keys (play/pause, stop, etc.) are the Fn+<arrow key>. I want to use those to control my "main" music player (Winamp in this case). I've already set them in its (Winamp's) settings (they're even in the hotkey list), but they don't work and the Play/Pause just opens Windows...

New keyboard; no drivers available; can't map multimedia keysI got a new wireless USB keyboard/mouse today - a SPEED WKB-1200. Unfortunately, there are no drivers available on the website for it, so I'm stuck with the generic Windows one and therefore can't map the multimedia keys. I've tried everything from AutoHotKey (though I might've not been using it...

Multimedia keys stopped working on HPdv600 x64See title. The little blue multimedia hotkeys randomly stopped working. HP doesn't seem to have any W7 drivers on their site and uninstalling/reinstalling all the HID and keyboard entries in Device Manager then restarting didn't do anything.
